Introduction: This project takes up the contemporary subject
of mergers and acquisitions and dwells in the post-merger phase of the
merger
process. The basic hypothesis on which this project is based upon is
that a merger deal, by itself does not create value. Rather, it is what happens
in the post-merger phase that determines the value created by a merger. In other
words, the value created by a merger is a function of the post-merger management
of the company and the management of the integration process. Thus, the value
created by a merger can be boosted if the right management strategy can be adopted.
The objectives of the study are:
1. Present arguments in favour of the idea that mergers indeed carry the potential
to create value.
2. Propose a theoretical framework for post-merger analysis that would utilize
the pre – merger performance data of a company to determine the potential
value created by the merger and compare it with the company’s post merger
performance.
3. Present empirical evidence on post-merger challenges and issues.
